Answer 2

Answer: It would take
`1124(11)/(13)` minutes to mow the entire park.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Area of park = 14,623 sq. feet

According to question, He can mow 13 sq. ft. of grass in one minute.

So, we can use "Unitary method":

In 1 minute, he can mow = 13 sq. feet

So, number of minutes it would take to mow entire area is given by

`(14623)/(13)\\\\=1124(11)/(13)`

Hence, it would take
`1124(11)/(13)` minutes to mow the entire park.
